Default How to Upgrade glibc???


Dear Experts,


To install some software, I need to upgrade the package,
glic, to a newer version.


I downloaded the newer version, and compiled it.
Interestingly, it took over ONE HOUR to compile.

And, it also produced MANY files.

/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/glibc-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/glibc-devel-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/glibc-headers-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/glibc-profile-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/glibc-common-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/nscd-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/glibc-debug-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/glibc-utils-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/glibc-debuginfo-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/glibc-debuginfo-common-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm



When I test to see if I can install one of them, I get:

rpm -Uvh --test /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/glibc-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm

error: Failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.3.2-95.27 is needed by glibc-2.3.2-95.27
glibc = 2.3.2-95.20 is needed by (installed) glibc-
utils-2.3.2-95.20



When I test to see if I can install all of them, I get Failed
dependencies again:

rpm -Uvh --test glibc-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm glibc-
common-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm glibc-
debug-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm glibc-

utils-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm nscd-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm

error: Failed dependencies:
glibc-devel = 2.3.2-95.20 is needed by (installed) nptl-
devel-2.3.2-95.20


How can I install all of them cleanly????

I'm using Redhat AS 3.2.


Thanks a lot!
